IHeart: Spreading Some January Sponsor Love!

Today is a special day for the blog and I because we get to take a moment to say, "Thank You" to my fantastic sponsors.  Just as you do, they keep the blog rolling and the posts coming back day after day.  So today I am giving out a GIANT appreciation hug post for them!

They are all amazing for endless reasons and I sincerely appreciate that you give them some love back for all their support of IHeart Organizing.

In the early 1960s, entrepreneur David Oreck had a radical idea: design a lightweight yet powerful vacuum to replace the much heavier ones hotel housekeepers had to push around. They loved it.

Today homeowners and hoteliers alike love Oreck’s easy-to-use, lightweight, powerful and durable upright vacuums—as well as its hand-held vacuums, steam mops, air purifiers, floor machines and cleaning products.

An industry leader for nearly 50 years, Oreck has earned its reputation for making the finest vacuums available. Headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee, Oreck Corporation sells its products in hundreds of Oreck Clean Home Centers and other select retail outlets, as well as through phone and online direct sales. The company distributes products in the U.S., Canada and parts of Europe. For more information visit www.oreck.com.

Whatever your cleaning challenge—children, pets, everyday life—Oreck can help. Because Oreck is clean made easy™.
Product reviews have just been added to Oreck.com.  If you have a favorite product, stop by and leave your thoughts for future shoppers.  Or, if you are in the market for a new vacuum, steam mop or air purifier, see what others have to say about the products they have in their homes.

Oreck makes clean easy. You can help us make it more meaningful. Connect with Oreck via Facebook or email, and we’ll donate $.50 to Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

Holly Bohn is the Founder and Creative Director of See Jane Work

Yes we are busy, but we can still have fun. And we can still express our individuality. That is why they started See Jane Work. They know you don't have time to search every website that comes up on Google looking for a notebook that says a little more about you than, "I got a coupon in the mail from Office Mart." You want something that says, "I am unique. I have style. I will not wear sweatpants to a meeting with a client ever again, no matter how late I am running."

They feel inspiration comes a little easier to those writing their thoughts in a pink leather journal rather than on the back of an envelope.

See Jane Work appreciates your business, so much so that they have created Jane's Rewards; a way for you to earn points doing what you love... shopping at seejanework.com.

See Jane Work has a new line available exclusively at Office Depot!

Michelle runs an time and money saving blog that is sure to make all of your lives easier!  Michelle's title says it all.  It's quite amazing really and absolutely worth looking at.  YOU can cook 5 dinners in just ONE hour too!!

Here's how:

Michelle has created a plan to cook all 5 dinners for the week in just ONE hour. All the menu plans have family friendly meals that feed 4-6 people and no, they are not all casseroles. :)

The meals are fresh, not frozen. They keep in your refrigerator until ready to heat and eat!

You could spend one hour on a Saturday or Sunday preparing 5 meals for your busy week!!  Yep, it only costs you the cost of the groceries and the one hour time investment, and you have meals for the whole week!  Done!

Not only does the fact that you can make 5 dinners in one hour sound incredible, but nothing is better than coming home from work and having your dinner already prepared before you run off to that kiddo's sporting event or music lesson.  It saves money on eating out and causes so much less stress in trying to find time to feed your family on a busy work/school night!  This is such music to this mom's ears I tell you!!!

Michelle is so kind to share a special promotion, just for you IHeart Organizing readers!  Subscribe here and get a $3.00 discount off the regular price of $15.00 for your first 3 months! Making your first 3 month subscription only $12.00!

Janery is an Etsy shop offering handmade pillows and coordinating pet beds, fabulous sunglasses cases and reusable shopping and produce bags.  All products are carefully sewn for durability, and pillow covers have invisible zippers in the bottom seam, so that both sides of the pillow can be shown off.  Jane tries to purchase supplies that are Made in the USA and sold by small, family-owned businesses as much as possible, and a portion of all proceeds are donated to the local homeless shelter.

New in the shop:  Pretty Pup Pads!

When customers kept asking Jane to create larger versions of her Modern Catnip Purr Pads for their dogs, Pretty Pup Pads were born.  These low profile, totally washable dog beds can stylishly protect your pup’s favorite spot on the furniture, or can be used wherever you want a stylish dog bed.
Coordinating pillow covers can be added to kick your home's style up another notch.

Buttoned Up, Inc. was founded in 2004 by four women, three sisters and a best friend...

They realized the necessity for a tool like Life.doc after experiencing significant life changes − from moving across the country to setting up house after 9/11 to getting divorced after 38 years of marriage to having kids and grand-kids. Each of them felt the need to get their lives organized but were unable to find products that could help them control their chaos. They wanted to be liberated from the rigid organizational systems that they bought annually and stopped using after just a few weeks.

After several years of trial, error, effort and research, they started Buttoned Up whose mission is to give women the tools they need to live an organized life not a life of organization.

They currently offer all sorts of great document kits to keep you organized in every aspect of your life!

{Life.doc, Moving.kit, File.starter, Medical.doc}

You can also find all sorts of organizing tips and topics they share on their blog!

Their 2012 Weekly Agenda is here!

The new 2012 Weekly.agenda planner is specifically designed to prevent the 3 productivity-killing mistakes most people make: failure to prioritize, missing opportunities to batch similar tasks, and neglecting to plan ahead.
